Following notice of the action of the Venezuelan government a few days ago in securing an attachment against the company with a view, it was un­ derstood, of obtaining damages be­ cause of aid alleged to have been giv­ en the revolutionists, United States Minister Herbert W.

Washington dispatch: An ingenious method employed in the Philippines to eeeure an adequate gas supply »S reported to the bureau of, insular af- im.li a uy tuc FSiilipp -"c iJuTSSu C* eminent laboratories. This scheme is to slowly feed cocoanut oil, a native product, into strong cast-iron retorts after the latter are brought to a red heat in furnaces. This produces a very high quality of illuminating gaa free from smoke and tar. This Philippine report also shows that the struggle waged by the bureau of laboratories against rinderpest, which threatened to exterminate the draft animals on the islands, has been successful. The veterinarians now have about seventy-five animals avail­ able to furnish a serum far inoculating nonimmune herds. A great demand for vaccine virus also is announced. Until the advent of the Americans no systematic efforts ever had been made to,v vaccinate the Philippine people. The islands now are declared to be practically free from the plague as a result, it is said, of the intelligent em­ ployment of a plague prophylactic fur­ nished the board, of health isi sufficient quantities.

Dr. Marchais of the Paris hospitals has Just submitted^ to the French Academy of Medicine, a somewhat Hovel treatment for the cure of vari­ cose "veins in the legs. „ He had observed that among rural postmen, obliged to go long distances on foot, there were few men who suf­ fer from varicose veins and those who had varicose veins quickly recov­ ered from them. Now, as l rule, pa­ tients with varicose vfeina are ad­ vised *to walk as little as possible, but Dr. Marchais has changed all this and as the result of experiments he has successfully carried cutS>k twen* ty-one patients he asserts that the most effective cure for varicose veins in the legs consists of walking. He shows that, in order to obtain lasting results, it is necessary to gb back to the cause of the affliction, which is the hypertension of the blood in the veins. It is, he says, possible even for thosi^' badly af­ flicted to cure themselves by rational daily walking exercises, preceded by massage of the legs. • ; ~ /X ELECT TUT CHIEF Indiana Man Is Chosen to .Head' DemocraiiclMatiopjy Committee.

Blooming ton, 111., special: The jury in the famous Gillette case rendered a verdict at Lincoln in favor of the de­ fendants. In substance it was that John O. Gillette was of sound mind when he made the codicil to his will leaving piuperty to the <|efendant8, Mrs. Emma J. Oglesby and Hiram C. Keys. The suit was brought by Jes­ sie Gillette to set aside the codicil and have the courts give her property as stated under the original document on the ground that her brother was in­ sane when the codicil was made.'

"v" Arriving at a Verdict. ^;.,kw9je4ua,-.'I^av; Aug. l,--(Special).-r- in this section of Pennsylvania there i.i a growing belief that for such Kid­ ney Diseases as Rheumatism and Lame Back there is only one sure -cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills. This belief grows from such cases as that of Mrs. M. L. Davison of this place. She tells the story herself as follows: "1 have suffered from Rheumatism 'for thirty years and find that Dodd's Kidney Pills have done me more good than any medicine I have ever taken. I was also bothered with Lame Back and I can only say that my back hasn't bothered me since I took Dodd's Kidney Pills." ? Considering that Mrs. Davison only took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, the result would be considered won­ derful if it were not that others are reporting similar results daily. Kushe- qua is fast arriving at a verdict that "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one euro cjire for Rheumatism." t-- ,,Clvll War Correspondents. v "Ph© roll call for the American newspaper correspondents of the civil war is growing shorter each year.

It merely tells in language that never revolts of the struggle of a soul upwards from the unfortunate environments in which it finds itself placed, and it does it with such force and clean­ ness that the number of its readers should constantly increase. •• Very Lew Rates to Boston and Re­ turn via Lake Shore & Mlchi- igan Southern Ry.

There was a dull aching across the small of my back that was worse at night and made me feel miserable all the time.

As the minister was about to leave, Willie meekly approached him and sadly asked: "Why--why--how does it feel to be poor?" "What do you mean, Willie?" laugh­ ingly asked the minister, turning to the parents with an amused smile.

The sleeping cars on that line wero formerly Puilman cars, operated by the Pullman Company, but for a dozen years past the railway company has owned and operated the sleeping car equipment. In building its sleep­ ing cars, a departure from the old standard pattern of cars has been made to the extent of addtnc about six inches to the width and height of the sleepers. This permits of wider and higher berths. Length has also been added to berths, so that comfort is found in them which Is lacking in ordinary sleeping cars. These large cars are in service on practically all of the lines of the St. Paul Road, and are very popular with the traveling public. FREE TO TWENTY-FIVJ, LADIES.
